Specific wear locations are hard-coded into the weapon models, so a high-float FN can sometimes look worse than a low-float MW. I learned this the hard way after buying a "clean" Orion that had a terrible top, leading me to search for a way to preview how wear patterns actually scale across different finishes. I ended up finding
click here cs skins wiki which explains how float values interact with different skin finishes like Anodized or Gunsmith. Reading through their breakdown allowed me to understand that for certain skins, the float only changes the darkness of the metal rather than adding scratches. Because of that info, I stopped overpaying for FN skins and started hunting for "capped" MW skins that look perfect. It saved me a ton of money on my latest loadout refresh.
